TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to a new drug application of a Pithecellobium Clypearia Benth Extract (EA), and particularly, to a method of the EA used for treating multiple diseases caused by drug resistant bacteria infection.

BACKGROUND

The twenty-first century is an age of Multi-Drug Resistant (MDR) bacteria. After 60 years of clinical use of an antibiotic, more and more hospital infections and infections with the MDR bacteria have become a major challenge to clinical antibacterial treatment at present. Since a first case of clinical Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) infected patient was reported by Jerons in 1961, the MRSA infections have gradually spread all over the world till now. In 2011, China Bacterial Resistance Surveillance in clinic showed that, in distribution of main drug resistant bacteria, Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumonia produced Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase (ESBL) strains respectively were 50.7% and 38.5%, and the transition and current status of the drug resistance thereof are highly concerned. In addition, according to an annual report 2010 from a Drug Resistance Surveillance Cooperating Group of Ministry of Health, pathogenic bacteria separated by Acinetobacter baumannii and Pseudomonas aeruginosa in a hospital ICU ranked the top, and the drug resistance rates of the Acinetobacter baumannii to imipenem (IMP) and meropenem respectively were up to 60.4% and 61.4%. To sum up, in various MRSA and ESBL produced bacteria, the clinical occupied rates of the MDR Acinetobacter Baumannii (MDRAB) and Pseudomonas Aeruginosa (MDRPA) have been growing every year. Under the pressure that the drug resistance rates are rising continuously, the antibiotic treatment is facing an enormous challenge. In order to prevent further deterioration of a bacterial drug resistant phenomenon, experts and scholars are sparing no effort to discover a new method for inhibiting bacterial growth and treating a bacteria-induced disease. A research has been reported and proved that traditional Chinese herbal medicines such as Coptis chinensis, Scutellaria baicalensis and Forsythia suspensa have a certain inhibition effect to different drug resistant bacteria. The key to further research the Chinese herbal medicine to inhibit the growth of the drug resistant bacteria is to discover a new Chinese herbal medicine with a stronger bactericidal capacity and a wider drug resistant inhibitory spectrum.

With Pithecellobium bigemimum (L.) Benth as a scientific name, the Pithecellobium clypearia Benth is dry young branches and leaves of Mimosa pithecellobium plant that is the Pithecellobium clypearia Benth. It is cold, tastes bitter and has the effects of clearing away heat and toxic materials, astringing dampness and healing sore. It is a unique southern medicinal material for treating multiple heat toxin symptoms.

Currently, there has disclosed in a literature that the Pithecellobium clypearia Benth and an extract thereof have an antiviral effect, but lacks a research in an effect of the Pithecellobium clypearia Benth and the extract thereof in aspect of anti-drug resistant bacteria.

SUMMARY

In order to overcome the above defects, the present disclosure discloses an application of an EA in preparing a drug resistant bacteria resistant drug and in an aspect of a sensibilization effect by using with a similar antibiotic thereof, specifically:

1. a method of the EA used for treating disease caused by an MDRAB resistant infection, in which the EA is used with an antibiotic IMP or Tetracycline (TE) or Polymycin B (POLB) or Ceftazidime (CAZ) or Levofloxacin (LVX) and all show an obvious sensibilization effect;

2. a method of the EA used for treating disease caused by an MDRPA resistant infection, in which the EA is used with an antibiotic LVX or IMP or Amikacin (AMK) or CAZ or Cefoperazone (CFP) and all show an obvious sensibilization effect;

3. a method of the EA used for treating disease caused by an ESBL-producing Escherichia Coli (ECO) resistant infection, in which the EA is used with an antibiotic AMK or Compound Sulfamethoxazole (SXT) and all show an obvious sensibilization effect;

4. a method of the EA used for treating disease caused by an ESBL-producing Klebsiella Pneumonia (KPN) resistant infection, in which the EA shows an obvious inhibitory effect to the ESBL-producing KPN.

The EA preferably is a Pithecellobium clypearia Benth water extract or a Pithecellobium clypearia Benth ethanol extract.

A method for preparing the EA is as follows: extracting Pithecellobium clypearia Benth coarse powder with water or an ethanol aqueous solution having a concentration of 10%-95% by a volume ratio, and then extracting an obtained extracting solution with ethyl acetate, in which the obtained extract is a final product. The ethanol aqueous solution preferably is an ethanol aqueous solution having the concentration of 60% by the volume ratio.

In the present disclosure, the drug includes a human drug or an animal drug, or a soil treatment drug or preparation.

The present disclosure achieves the following beneficial effects.

The present disclosure first discloses the antibacterial effect of the EA to the MDRAB, the MDRPA, the ESBL-producing ECO and the ESBL-producing KPN and the sensibilization effect by using with the antibiotics thereof.

A test proves that the EA by using with the IMP or the TE or the POLB or the CAZ or the LVX has a synergistic effect to the MDRA resistance, and compared with the single use, the usage of the antibiotic is reduced by 50%-87%.

The EA by using with the LVX or the IMP or the AMK or the CAZ or the CFP has a synergistic effect to the MDRPA resistance, and compared with the single use, the usage of the antibiotic is reduced by 50%-99.2%.

The EA by using with the AMK or the SXT has a synergistic effect to the ESBL-producing ECO, and compared with the single use, the usage of the antibiotic is reduced by 75%-99.3%.

The EA in the present disclosure can be taken as a natural antibacterial drug for the above drug resistant bacteria or a sensitizer similar to the antibiotic, and is applied to treatment of a disease caused by the above bacteria. The present disclosure provides a new way and a replacement drug to solve the drug resistant problem of the antibiotics, and is applied to the human drug, other animal drugs and soil remediation of corresponding infectious bacteria. It is a natural plant extract and has no side effect, and the extracting method is simple and environment-friendly.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

The EA to resist the drug resistant bacteria and the pharmacological actions of the sensibilization effect to similar antibiotics will be further described with the reference to the following implementation solutions.

Preparation of the EA: the Pithecellobium clypearia Benth is provided by Guangzhou Huacheng Pharmaceutical Factory. An appropriate amount of Pithecellobium clypearia Benth medicinal materials are taken and are crushed into coarse powder; the coarse powder is reflowed for two times with water or with a 10%-95% ethanol aqueous solution, each time for 2 h, and is filtered; filtrates are merged and are condensed to obtain an extractum (namely, the Pithecellobium clypearia Benth water or ethanol extract); after being taken and suspended in the water, the extractum is extracted with ethyl acetate for three times, and ethyl acetate extracting solutions are merged and are condensed to obtain an ethyl acetate extract. The extract obtained by reflowing with a 10% ethanol aqueous solution is referred to as a Pithecellobium clypearia Benth 10% ethanol extract, and the extract obtained by reflowing with other concentrations of ethanol aqueous solutions are by that analogy.

Strains: test strains in the present disclosure all are provided by the Clinical Microbiology Lab of Department of Lab Medicine at First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University and the drug resistance is tested and confirmed by the same.

Embodiment 1

1. Test Method

1) MIC Determination

The EA, the IMP, the TE, the POLB, the CAZ and the LVX are respectively diluted in the MH broth culture medium by a series of ratios, with each pore for 50 μl; the inoculant bacteria are adjusted to 1.0*10⁶ CFU/ml and 50 μl of a bacteria solution is added to each pore; the culture is at 35° C. and for 24 h; and the concentration, at which no precipitate occurs, of a minimum antibacterial drug is the MIC.

2) MBC Determination

A spread plate count method is adopted. 50 μl of bacterial suspension is absorbed from a pore for sterile growth in item 1) to a blood plate, is uniformly coated and is cultured for 24 h at 35° C. Bacterial colonies are counted, and the concentration, at which the initial number of experimental viable bacteria is reduced by 99.9% or more, of the minimum antibacterial drug is the MBC.

By determining the MIC and the MBC of the drug and making statistics of the data to obtain MIC₅₀, MIC₉₀, MBC₅₀ and MBC₉₀, the effect of the MDRA resistance of the drug is evaluated.

3) Checkerboard Assay

The checkerboard assay is performed in a 96-pore sterile culture plate. The EA, the IMP, the TE, the POLB and the CAZ are respectively diluted into a series of concentrations in a doubling manner in the MH broth culture medium, and two drugs are combined respectively at ¼MIC to 4MIC; 25 μl of A drug and 25 μl of B drug are respectively added to each pore, the concentration of the bacterial suspension is adjusted to 1.0*10⁶ CFU/ml, 50 μl of the bacteria solution is inoculated to each pore and is cultured for 24 h at 35° C.; and then, the MIC to the MDRAB after the A drug is used with the B drug is observed.

Calculation of a Fractional Inhibitory Concentration (FIC): FIC=S20b combined-use MIC/S20b single-use MIC+antibiotic combined-use MIC/antibiotic single-use MIC. By calculating the FIC, the combined antibacterial interaction between the EA and the antibiotic is evaluated, with synergistic effect for FIC≤0.5, additive effect for 0.5<FIC≤1, indifferent effect for 1<FIC≤2 and antagonistic effect for FIC>2. According to a sterile growth pore, the optimum concentration ratio between the EA and the antibiotic is founded out. At last, the effect of the EA to strengthen the efficacy of the antibiotic is evaluated.

The test products in the embodiment include: the Pithecellobium clypearia Benth water extract, the Pithecellobium clypearia Benth 10% ethanol extract, the Pithecellobium clypearia Benth 60% ethanol extract and the Pithecellobium clypearia Benth 95% ethanol extract.
